Growth Leadership for Orange Law Firms, Sitting Above the Silos
You spend on marketing, field the leads, and chase business development — but each one runs on its own metric and qualified leads slip through the handoffs. We work above the silos and unifies demand, intake, conversion, and retention under one owner.
In Short
What is a fractional Chief Growth Officer for a law firm?
A fractional CGO is a seasoned growth leader who owns the entire revenue engine on a part-time, contracted basis. Unlike a CMO who owns marketing or a COO who owns operations, the CGO orchestrates across the silos — keeping marketing, intake, business development, and retention pulling toward one revenue number instead of optimizing alone while good leads slip through the gaps.
- Executive growth leadership at roughly 20–40% of a full-time CGO’s cost
- A fit for $1M–$100M+ firms whose marketing, intake, and sales report separately
- Most last 6–18 months before shifting to a lighter advisory rhythm
Above the Silos
Growth is a relay — and leads get dropped at the handoffs
Marketing, intake, sales, and retention each run their own leg. A fractional CGO owns the baton — so qualified leads stop getting dropped between teams.
Demand
Measured by cases, not impressions.
Intake
Every qualified lead answered fast — none left to cool.
Conversion
Disciplined follow-up that turns interest into signed clients.
Retention
Happy clients recycle into new pipeline.
The Difference
Leaking vs. sealed: where the revenue goes
Same marketing spend, two very different outcomes — depending on whether anyone owns the whole path.
Before a CGO
- Three teams, three dashboards, no shared number
- Qualified leads cool off in the handoffs
- Growth means buying more ad spend
- No one owns the revenue number
With a fractional CGO
- One unified growth scoreboard for the whole firm
- No qualified lead left to go cold
- Revenue grows on the spend you already have
- A single accountable owner
The Scoreboard
One number, owned and moved every week
North-star
One growth number the whole firm runs on, with a single owner on the hook for it.
